On September 5th the Library kicks off its 18th annual community read, On the Same Page, with “Speak No Evil” by Dr. Uzodinma Iweala. I would like to encourage everyone to give this powerful, award-winning novel a try. This novel covers so many timely issues, but I’d like to focus on one topic for this month’s reading challenge - the immigrant experience in America.

The Reynolda Manor Branch Library currently is the largest branch facility in the Forsyth County Library system with 17,000 square feet of floor space. Community use is active, reflected by a high circulation (more than 270,000 checkouts) and over 25,000 registered borrowers. This full-service branch is located in northwestern Winston-Salem and attracts a multigenerational and multicultural customer base.
